Lazer Sharks in Space

Fortworth, Texas Here We Come!

LazerSharks in space has been working super hard throughout the season. We came in to compete at our best capability at The State competition in Bozeman MT. With hard work and determination we came out in the top 6 teams. This allowed us to qualify for a premiere event. A premier event expands capacity, allowing more teams to participate in top-tier competition beyond the World Championship. This still takes as much effort to raise money and build a well-competitive robot. Our team has chosen and is glad to have the opportunity to compete at Fortworth, Texas also known as the CowTown premier event.

Meet this Year's Team!

We met over Zoom with team 3371 Botley Crue from New York to discuss game strategy and robot design.
Had a practice game with Team 26706 Thunder Lab to prepare for the Helena qualifier.
talked about what FTC robotics is and the skills you can learn with our local middle school at a school assembly, reaching 250 students, 15 teachers, and 25 parents
gave 8th graders a tour of our robotics room and showed them our robots, allowing them each to take a turn to drive them.
showed the 4th graders at our local elementary school our robot, talked about FIRST, and let some of them drive our bot and ask questions.
met with a local Nuclear engineer to talk about how He goes through the steps of Engineering, such as the designing phase, the testing phase, and the revising phase.

Meet Helico

This year's Robot is one of our best competing robots. It is named after the ancient shark Helicoprion. Helico has been through 3 new versions this season and is still under construction for Fortworth, Texas.

Helico V1

This is the robot that we competed with at the Butte qaulifier. We placed 15th overall and were able to get the Reach award. This robot was a human player loaded and only shot from the goal. Although it wasn't the best it taught us many things to improve our robot.

Helico V2

This is the robot that we competed with during the Helena qualifier. We placed 6th and were able to get the control award. This version of Helico was the first with our intake. After lots of thinking and watching other teams we decided to make our robot be able to shoot from the far triangle. This helped us a lot and also gave us more ideas.

Helico V3

This is the current version of our robot which we competed with at the State competition. We placed 6th overall and got the Control Award. This version of Helico was not far off of the previous, but we had changed the launch panels to clear to allow us to see through the robot. This is our best version of the robot so far and allowed us to compete farther into the season.
